this is why estrangement works!

your parents don't deserve access to you if they are this deplorable, and it proves some people are truly in a cult and unreachable, so you can stop trying

PS I feel for these siblings but they'll be just fine w/o them in their lives

List of headlines from media covering FDA, most emphasizing the claim that covid killed children

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:

• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).

• Sex criminals.

• War criminals.

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.

A must read account of Trump’s historic betrayal of Ukraine, Europe and America from the WSJ….

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich.

Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent)

if 6-7 were slang for a giant hole, this would be the perfect tweet

just hopped over to BlueSky for the first time in a while and my Discover feed is not what i was expecting

I’ve never seen anything remotely this petty charged as bank fraud.

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

ok this really is awful, and she's going to do catastrophically bad things (srsly tell people now to stop trusting CBS as a news source), but i did laugh very hard at someone comping her to Michael Scott

Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him. “I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

Trump told NBC on Sunday that he saw some Portland riot footage on Fox and thought it reflected current events.

It didn't. It was 5 years old, from the George Floyd aftermath.

And we learned that due to the diligence of a local TV reporter, who got the transcript.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

When this ruling came down it was clear, if Trump won, they were handing a deeply vindictive, corrupt criminal the most powerful prosecutorial weapon in the world.

Missouri redistricting at this time would be pure Calvinball

I experienced this last week & refused, saying I had never before been asked to provide the names of any analysts I was planning to quote to get a comment. Spox replied that maybe they were D donors. (In that case, it was 3 retired top military JAG officers.) I guess that was not a weird oneoff.

is it any bit less depressing here?

this is how anti-trans and TERFs act when you are a trans person simply exist. this is how the average conservative wants everyone to treat trans people

i also assumed the pharmaceutical industry would push back hard against RFK to protect their own naked self-interest, and it is utterly bizarre that they don't seem to be

Malone is a full-bore lunatic. They are burning HHS to the ground.

if you bravely come out in favor of trans peoples humanity you will be target number 1 and harassed until you give into the virtue signalling cancel culture on the right

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

this truly couldn't have happened to a funnier person
